Nowell-Smith quotes from a previous letter he has received from The Hogarth Press to evidence that he has received previous permissions from them. He explains that Constable and Company, who initially wrote to the press, have had trouble reading initials of previous correspondence. Nowell-Smith hopes that as they have granted permission for an English edition of his book that they will grant permission for an American edition. He provides further detail on his book.
